Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] new install vertical line in display

Sandy Bridge chipset support in drm/i915 currently shipped by Hipster is not complete. In particular it misses backports of some fixes which were committed later in the Linux tree >= 2014: most notably workarounds of hw bugs and edid updates. There is a new version of drm/i915 currently in testing for OI. Could you try one of the following images and see if it improves the situation? http://dlc-int.openindiana.org/hipster/20161207/ In any case your can open a ticket: https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana and attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Problem with Hipster 2016.10 GUI on ESXi 6.5
Actually there is. Install a normal Text install and VMware Tools. Install the Package mate_install (this installs all GUI Applications) Optional Setup and Start vtdaemon to have console access if gui should fail. Then Start lightdm via svcadm.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] new install vertical line in display
Hi all, Apologies if this is not the correct list to address such a thing, but... Linux mate user here new to OpenIndiana/Solaris. Just installed on my Dell Latitude e5420 laptop. During the graphical install i had a flashing vertical line about a half inch from the right side of the display. I was hoping it would go away once the os was installed, but it is still there. Not a game changer, but annoying just the same. Is this a known bug? Is there a work around? Thanks for any info. peace bill ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
